Lumberyards, blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, leather workshops......

With so many good things in his hands, Vincent could have fun all day just by looking at the list.

Now it is not what it used to be, and there is a lot of money, and at least one-fifth of the property in the territory is directly classified into Vincent's name.

By combining these capacities to form a stable supply chain, we can continue to produce the materials needed by the territory, and provide additional capacity for the production of toys.

The toy may be small, but it is Vincent's favorite.

In addition, compared to those complicated appliances, toys are almost the most cost-effective type when brushed and protected.

Of course, things can't be so perfect, although he can convict Luke and his gang of rebellion and confiscate their assets directly, but then he must replace the merchants to support the economy of the territory.

For the next three days, Vincent ordered the market to be kept stable, setting up a market in the city, placing Luke's hoarded goods at low prices, and searching for hidden supplies.

It was impossible for Vincent to find someone else to run all the shops that originally belonged to merchants, so he first took temporary measures to stabilize the situation.

In order to keep business running, except for those who committed the most heinous crimes and had to be imprisoned and executed, the remaining merchants who were less guilty and less guilty, as well as their subordinates, were still allowed to be retained.

Business requires experience and management skills, and Vincent can make the skeletons replace the dead men with chores, but he can't find anyone under his command who can replace the traders, shopkeepers, and craftsmen.

In order to make these people feel at ease, Vincent proposed a "public-private partnership".

The unscrupulous merchant's property was confiscated, and the lord gained full ownership.

Merchants who are not involved in Luke's evil plot and are less guilty of their own crimes can continue to run their shops and workshops, or go out to do business.

A merchant who works in a crime is equivalent to being released on parole, can live with his family, and has no restrictions on normal activities, but must work according to the requirements of the lord and is not allowed to do any more illegal acts.

Merchants can get a good remuneration according to their business performance, but all the business taxes, corporate profits, and personnel salaries in the income must be retained, and all the original stock dividends are obtained by the lord.

In addition to obtaining normal profits, all operations prohibit speculation and disrupt the market order, and at the same time provide sufficient supplies for the territory according to their own capabilities and territorial needs.

Without the permission of the lord, it is forbidden to renounce or change the position, otherwise it will be punished by the law.

Depending on the performance of their work, their attitude of repentance, and the opinion of the public, the lord will consider reinstating these people to their lordship.

In this way, the original boss has become a high-level worker who has committed crimes, and Vincent has no guilt for this, but thinks that he is very benevolent.

In order to prevent these people from taking the opportunity to retaliate or sabotage, Vincent also thoughtfully arranged for law enforcement spirits in all shops, workshops, warehouses and caravans.

The undead are specially selected spirits who have worked in the Chamber of Commerce and have a grudge against merchants and do not want to die.

Therefore, when supervising the business practices of merchants, not only do they not bend the law for personal gain, but they also go even further, and they do not want to be paid, but they take pleasure in torturing and intimidating.

If there is even a single item of goods that is not registered, a copper plate that is not accounted for, or something that is unfavorable to the lord, these undead will scream and hiss, or constantly launch spiritual attacks with terrifying visions, leaving the overseen uneasy for a moment.

Of course, if these people are obsessed, the undead do not have the power of physical punishment, but they will immediately report to the lord, and the skeletons and monsters directly under the lord will punish the criminals.

If the caravan goes out, in addition to being accompanied by a bunch of undead spirits, it will also be escorted by haunting shadow demons and flying harpies, ensuring that these merchants do not dare to manipulate the quantity and quality of their goods.

In addition to these demonic management methods, Vincent continued to follow his usual mass line, and he issued a proclamation for the lords of Silver Dragon Castle to continue to supervise the merchants and allow them to report it.

Unsurprisingly, in this matter, Kiraya's doppelganger began to use the blood curse on Vincent again, but it was quickly vetoed.

It's not out of disgust, it's out of understanding.

"I have a cleanliness fetish, and I hate to sign master-slave contracts with a bunch of fat-brained guys."

"Xiangxiang's blonde kitten will do, right?"

“……”

After quickly humiliating her brother, the inhuman seducer added another meal to Vincent's displeasure and happily fell into a deep sleep.

However, Kiraya also reminds Vincent that while Vincent himself doesn't like to sign contracts with them, his lichs don't care.

The self-inflicted merchants became slaves of the Lich, and there was no way to free them except to serve their realm wholeheartedly and to the satisfaction of their lords.

In the end, Vincent still felt that he was too kind to be a human being, and he couldn't see people suffering.

In terms of prices, Vincennes also set a guide price for certain important goods, such as bread, firewood or salt.

Allowing people to buy necessities at acceptable, stable prices would guarantee the quality of life for most people.

The guide price is currently tentatively set to change every three days.

In order to increase his credibility, Vincent also had the bishop of the church personally perform a ceremony in which the repentant merchants atone for their sins with allegiance to the lord and bless the newborn territory on behalf of the gods.

Even the Holy Maiden lit the light on the convent towers – even though the actual perpetrator of this was the adorable mousetail grass, so that the populace could see the stars rise day and night.

Thanks to Vincent's efforts, prices have come down as he promised, the economy has been running smoothly, and popular support has risen further.

However, the next question made Vincent feel a little scratched.

After the price reduction, the people's shopping enthusiasm was high, consumption increased, and many necessities of life, such as food, cloth, wine, firewood and other materials, were in short supply.

The confiscation was fast, the production was slow, Vincent made a fortune, but the family was thinning.

Another point is that due to the recent battle between Vincent and the merchants, and not paying attention to other situations, the riots in the countryside have become more serious.

Maybe Luke can use the influence of the cult to continuously obtain resources from those villages, but even if he is finished, these rebels still don't buy the demon lord.

Hearing of Luke's arrest, the rebellious peasants were not deterred, but were stimulated, believing that they would be their next target.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking so, but they have stopped the supply of materials to Silver Dragon Castle one after another, which is more of a headache.

To add insult to injury, some villages are located near the main roads of the territory, and not only have they stopped the delivery of supplies themselves, but they have also blocked the roads leading to the outside world in the territory, greatly worsening the economic situation of Silver Dragon Castle.

Restoring the supply of materials and opening up the roads to the territory became the most urgent problem facing the lord.

Since such rebellious villages are scattered throughout the territory and it is difficult to solve them all in a single military operation, Vincent must prepare a larger army to restore order in the territory in the shortest possible time.

In order to keep the base of Silver Dragon Castle stable, Vincent turned to Bishop Bellman and asked him to release the food and supplies in the church territory so that he could not be shaken while he prepared for the crusade.

I also shared a lot of benefits from Luke and his gang, and I also got the credit for reporting the eradication of the cult, and the mood has not been as good as it is now for ten years, and seeing that the lord is in difficulty, this time I readily agreed.

It's just that he added one percent to the market price as a testimony of his friendship with Vincent.

In this regard, Vincent said that he was emotionally stable, and if Bishop Bellman had not increased the price, he would have felt that this matter was abnormal.

No profit can not be early, no one will help in vain.

"My dear lord, I can help you find a way to find food, but if you want to fight the rebellion, you can't be short of weapons, which the benevolent gods don't allow me to provide."

Presumably as a result of the investigation, the bishop was somewhat concerned and seemed to lack confidence in Vincent's actions.

"The rebellious peasants took up arms, and the number of people in all parts of the country was in the tens of thousands, even if it was a rabble, not to be taken lightly."

"Don't worry, my lordship, it's not as difficult as you think," Vincent reassured Bishop, "Luke has left behind enough for me to pull out an army of arms......"

At this, Vincent's expression became serious.

"More than that, Bishop, I want to ask, how is Luke's situation going?"
